May 6, 1931 (17th Parliament, 2nd Session)

Mr. SPEAKER:

Before proceeding with the 'questions I would remind the house that under :a former administration it was agreed that answers to questions should be tabled in triplicate, thus giving the member asking the question a copy of the answer and providing a copy for Hansard, with a third copy for the press. At present the practice seems to be to supply only two copies, thereby depriving the member of a copy of the answer to his question, which is a great inconvenience. I would respectfully ask the ministers to have answers to questions prepared in triplicate.
